Change All Parts of an Assembly to Local
General
- You can change assembly parts from the main level or recursively into local parts.
- Note that especially when choosing recursive conversion to local, you can also ruin the assemblies in the substructures, because the operation cannot be undone later.
- To avoid this problem, it is recommended to save the assembly and all its subassemblies as new parts before this operation.
- The optionally available subprogram helps with this. You can find more information here: > Project Management Tools.
- You can undo the conversion to local parts with the Undo function or the shortcut key Ctrl+Z when you do it immediately after the conversion to local parts.
Convert Parts to Local
- Select the main assembly symbol from the feature tree.
- Select the context-sensitive function Other Functions> Change Links to Local.
- The program opens the dialog box Change Links to Local.
- Select the level.
- Change on 1st level: Only parts and subassemblies of the main assembly are changed to local ones.
- Change on all levels: All parts and subassemblies are recursively changed to local.
- Use this option only after careful consideration.
- Select OK.
Note: If you did this unintentionally, use the Undo function or Ctrl+Z to cancel the change.
